To all whomct may concern: i y

Beit known that I, CLAUDEVH. FREEsE, a citizen' of the United States, residingl at Los Angeles, in the county of Los Angeles and State of California, have invented a new and useful Deodorizing Device, of which the following is a specification. Y Y

j My invention relates to deodorizing devices, and more particularly to that class of such devices lin which a deodorizing liquid is fed to absorbent material having an evaporating `sui-face.

The principal object of my invention is to produce a device of the class described of simple form and construction having an evaporating surface which may be readilyl increased or diminished to meet the particular requirements of the use to which the device is put in each case.

Referring to the drawings, which are for illustrative purposes only: Figure 1 is a perspeetive view of a device embodying a form of my invention. Fig. 2 is a vertical, secf tional view of`the 'device shown in Fig. 1, the liquid container being shown inl full lines. Fig. 3 is a sectional plan view on line ac3-w3 of`Fig. 2.

-The device is designed in the form shown to be supported on the wall, and consists of a plate 5 ofsheet metal having the central portion raised'as shown at 6, thereby leaving a space between the central portion of the plate and the wall to which the plate is secured by meansof a screw 7.- The plate 5,

in the lower' portion thereof, is provided with two openings or perforations 8. adapted l to receive the bent ends 9 of a circular band sleeve 14, and the neck 17 of the bottle extending downwardly into the sleeve, the height of the sleeve being such thatzthe mouth 18 of the bottle is slightly above'fthebottoinof the cup 12, as shown in Fig. 2. The bot?l tle 16 is supported in upright positionl on the sleeve 14 by means of a band 20 of Similar form and construction tocthe band 10, the ends 21 offthe band 20 extending through openings 22 in the plate 5 and toes or flanges 23 engaging the back of the plate.

25 designates a series of rings of porous material, the lowermost ring 25 being seated in the cup between the walls of the cup and the sleeve 14,v and other rings of the same character being placed one above another as shown in Fig. 2; it being understood that a greater number of rings may be placed one above another, as indicated in dotted lines in Fig. 2, for the purposes hereinafter de'- scribed.

The device is used in the following manner: Deodorizing liquid is placed in the bottle 16 andthe same is-inverted and placed upon the sleeve 14 in the cup 12, as shown. T heiliquid in the bottle slowly drains therefrom to the bottom of the cup 12 where it is taken up by the porous material of the sleeve 14 and rings 25,4 The liquid taken up by the sleeve and rings is evaporated from the surface of the saineeX osed `to the atmosphere, the extent'of which surface may 10, the ends 9 terminating in outwardly eX- tending flanges or toes 11 which engage the back of the plate along one edge of the openings 8. Y .y

The band 10 is preferably made 'of spring metal and when the'ends 9 of theband are inserted in the openings 8 the ends of the band tend to move away from each other, thereby engagingthe edges of the openings 8 as heretofore described. The band 10 forms a support for a. cup v12 which hasa rolled edge 13 engaging over the band 10. Supported in the cup 12 is a cylindrical sleeve 14 of orousmaterial, such as plaster of Paris, or 'similar material, the sleeve 14 being dished atthe top as shown at 15 to form a'seat and supportfor a bottle 16. The ibottle 16 is placed in'inverted position, the body 'portion thereof resting on the be regulated by the number of rings 25 used, the greater the number of rings 'the greater amount of evaporating surface, resulting in the more rapid feedof the liquid from the bott le 16 to the cup 12. l I

It is understood that the-device may be quickly ytaken apart and removed from the` together, thereby releasing the toes on the vrespective bands from engagement with the plate.

What I claim is 1. In combination, a supportingjmember, a cup supported on said member, a sleeve of porous material in saidcup, a bottlesupported on said sleeve in inverted position thereon, the neck of said bottle'extending downwardly into said sleeve with the mouth of "the bottle spaced apart from the bottom of the cup, and a series of .rings of porous material in said cup about said sleeve, the rings being placed one above another.

2. In combination, a supporting plate having a pair of openings therein, a band havmaterial in said cup inclosing said sleeve, ing its ends extended through said openings said rings being placed one above another, 1o to support the band on said plate, a cup and means detachably secured to said plate supported in said band, a sleeve of porous for supporting the upper end of said bottle. material in said cup, a bottle supported on In testimony whereof, I have -hereunto set said sleeve in'inverted position, the mouth my hand at Los Angeles, California, this of said bottle being spaced apart from the 10th day of July, 1916.
